BSE Pro (Formerly Blood Sweat and Ears) (or BSE Wrestling) is a Canadian independent professional wrestling organization, founded in 2005.

BSE holds 10-12 events a year in the Greater Toronto Area, as well as quarterly tours to Northern Ontario cities such as Timmins, Sudbury, Iroquois Falls, Kirkland Lake and North Bay. BSE event results and rankings can be found in Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine.

In July 2007, BSE hosted an event featuring Christian Cage and Kurt Angle. This marked the only time that Kurt Angle has worked for a Canadian independent pro wrestling organization.

In January 2008, BSE presented two events in Iqaluit, Nunavut. This marked the first time professional wrestling appeared in the Canadian territory. These shows were the second most geographically northern professional wresting events ever to be held.

History

2005

BSE's first show was held on July 10, 2005, at the Nashville North nightclub in Norval, Ontario. As was usual at the start of the promotion, the show was split between wrestling and music, with local band Severity playing two sets. The main event that night featured Rhyno, who was making his first pro-wrestling appearance since the previous month's ECW One Night Stand PPV. Also appearing were future WWE tag team The Highlanders, TNA wrestler Shantelle Taylor and SHIMMER star Tiana Ringer.

The next show, in August, featured a main event pitching Christopher Daniels in a Fatal 3way against Chris Sabin and Petey Williams, as well as featuring (then) Team Canada member Bobby Roode [cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2005/08/29/pf-1192627.html|title=Daniels bests Sabin & Williams at Toronto indy show|accessdate=2008-06-17|publisher= SLAM! Sports] and 2005 was completed with a show in Mississauaga on 30 October, featuring Bobby Roode, Traci Brooks and Chris Kanyon, as well as a main event match between Chris Sabin and Petey Williams.

2006

On February 5, BSE held their first show of 2006 in Sudbury, Ontario, during which Chris Kanyon revealed that he was homosexual. Throughout the remainder of 2006, BSE brought in more outside stars including Eric Young, Tommy Dreamer, Abyss, Christian Cage, Gail Kim, AJ Styles, Monty Brown, Steve Corino, Senshi, Lance Storm and Pat Tanaka, a tactic that saw the number of fans at shows rise from 200 to around 750.

2008

BSE Wrestling was brought to the attention of a wider audience at the 2008 CHIKARA King of Trios tournament. Team BSE, consisting of Kobra Kai, La Sombra Canadiense and Super Xtremo were involved in the second night of matches, facing Elite Pro Wrestling's representatives Da Soul Touchaz (Acid Jaz, Willie Richardson & Marshe Rockett) in the first round. However, as the three were not natural teammates, and were instead put together as a team to promote BSE Wrestling, they didn't work as a team and were eliminated by Da Soul Touchaz after Willie Richardson pinned La Sombra Canadiense.

On July 22, BSE announced a free show in Mississauga, Ontario in association with The Discovery Channel's Guinea Pig show. The show's host Ryan Stock took part in the main event Extreme Rules match against Franky the Mobster. Ths show was recorded for broadcast on the Discovery Channel at a later date.
